Jack Reacher

Synopsis: Think of a more functional version of Rambo and you have Jack Reacher, a rough-and-tumble, tortured ex-vet who roams America’s highways fighting the enemy and saving the little guy. While the character described in the novels is miles away from actor Tom Cruise, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie has apparently created a gritty action-thriller that stays true to the spirit of the series.
